The thing about players is like Parise and Guentzel and whomever else you want to compare him to - a lot of their growth as players occurred outside of the NCAA. Parise's college numbers (and especially his AHL numbers and first season in the NHL numbers) don't really suggest the player he became.
So yeah, the hype train certainly needs to slow down, but Anderson looks like he'll be contributing to the Devils sooner rather than later (or never).
Parise's numbers were great in college.
